LLCC Day 8

Well I survived an entire week + one whole day! Hurray! This morning when I weighed myself I had lost (drumroll please) 6.5 pounds!! I can hardly believe it! In one week!! 10 pounds difference from where I was 2 weeks ago. So, needless to say, I have newfound motivation to stick this out!

Because of the weight drop my daily allotment of calories also changed. I can now have 1150 a day, down from 1193. I walked twice and faster and longer today so I could have some extra calories to keep from feeling incredibly hungry.

Allotment: 1150

Breakfast: About 175 calories

1 cup cheerios

1/2 cup milk

3 strawberries

Lunch: About 300 calories

Chicken salsa cheese tortilla things

Dinner: About 380 calories

Chicken salsa cheese tortilla things, but 3 of them instead of 2 like lunch

Snacks: About 740 calories

yoplait light yogurt

1/2 Kiwi

almonds

graham crackers

string cheese

1 mini cookie from Mrs. Fields

2 s'mores but with 1/2 the chocolate (my new favorite nighttime treat IF I have the excess calories)

So, it's actually working. I'm feeling very good and thinking about starting a running regimen to perhaps prep for a 10K on Thanskgiving. But, I'm not making any promises on that one because it makes me very, very, VERY nervous.
